November 6, 2013 Statement of Most Reverend R. Daniel Conlon, Bishop of the Diocese of Joliet in Illinois, Regarding the Redefinition of Civil Marriage in Illinois JOLIET, ILToday, I stand in unison with my fellow Catholic Bishops and other clergy expressing my disappointment in the redefinition of civil marriage signed into law by Governor Pat Quinn. The Catholic Church deeply values and cherishes marriage, as a union between a man and a woman. When Pope Francis addressed a similar situation as Archbishop of Buenos Aires in June, 2010, he wrote The Argentine people must face, in the next few weeks, a situation whose result may gravely harm the family. It is the bill on matrimony of persons of the same sex. The identity of the family, and its survival, are in jeopardy here: father, mother, and children. The life of so many children who will be discriminated beforehand due to the lack of human maturity that God willed them to have a father and a mother is in jeopardy. A clear rejection of the law of God, engraved in our hearts, is in jeopardyLet us not be nave: it is not a simple political struggle; it is an intention [which is] destructive of the plan of God. It is not a mere legislative project (this is a mere instrument), but rather a move of the father of lies who wishes to confuse and deceive the children of God. (Father of lies refers to the devil, as mentioned by Jesus in the Gospel of John.) While this new law redefines marriage for the state, it does nothing to change what is revealed to us by God for the good of human society.
community building the kingdom of God through our many ministries. We celebrate our diversity, seeking to realize the gifts of each member of our parish, as we are all joined together under one faith, in a spiritual journey of evangelization, service to others, and a reverence for all life. In the Eucharist, we find new life, and bring this life to others through stewardship, education, and worship.

Council of Catholic Women Christ the King Parish, Whats happeningNovember 2013
It seems as though the idea behind Thanksgiving Day is to see how much turkey we can eat in one day. Every magazine and newspaper food section features the Thanksgiving Day menu star - the turkey. Charities are asking for donations to help provide items required for the proper TD celebration. A frozen turkey heads the list. Statistics on the number of turkeys eaten every year at Thanksgiving Day in our country are amazing. But, something is missing in all of the promotions-.giving thanks. Perhaps It is time to start a Put Thanks back into Thanksgiving movement? What do you think?

Year of Faith 2012-2013 Deacon Waynes History before serving at Christ the King
Page 7
We will be celebrating the 35 year anniversary of Deacon Wayne Storrs with a reception in the PLC after Noon Mass, December 1st. We all know and love Deacon Wayne as he serves here at Christ the King. But few of us know what Wayne was involved in before God gave him to us. Wayne was born in 1939 in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Wayne earned a full scholarship to IIT in architecture for both his undergraduate and masters degrees. He taught as an Assistant Professor. Wayne showed his love for the church and for architecture when he designed a single church for cold and warm climates as his masters thesis. The famous architect, Mies van der Rohe, was so impressed with the innovative design in Waynes thesis that he hand-picked Wayne to join his firm. Wayne later worked as the head designer for CE Murphy on McCormick Place and Water Tower Place. Waynes architectural designs are extensive, as he worked on many parts of U of I, Circle Campus, Cook County Hospitals Computer Center, Loyola Hospitals operating floor and technology wing, and the Nuclear Resonator in Oak Ridge Tennessee. When Wayne opened his own firm, he designed many private homes for ambassadors, bank officials, and Chicago Bears players. His buildings were not only in Chicago, but also in Washington DC, Indianapolis, Boston, Arizona and Florida. In 1967, Wayne married his love, Mary Ellen, who was a Speech and Language Pathologist. They adopted two boys, Bruce, who passed away in 2002 and Jim who currently works in Singapore for Universal Studios. Deacon Wayne was ordained by his Eminence Cardinal Cody in 1978, as a member of the third class of deacons at Holy Name Cathedral. Deacon Wayne served at St. Josephs Parish in Homewood as his first assignment. He founded their Marriage Preparation Program, a Compassionate Ministry, a 24 prayer line and many other ministries. He served as head of the Deacon Deanery under Bishop Gregory. In addition to Deacon Waynes normal activities as a deacon which included baptizing babies, performing marriages, consoling and counseling families and preaching homilies at Masses, he also served in the neonatal units at three hospitals, worked with PADS, and on Marriage Encounter and Cursillo weekends. Deacon Wayne also used his architectural experience on the Homewood Village Planning Commission and as an officer in the local Jaycees. He coordinated the renewal of St. Josephs church and the remodeling and repurposing of two other buildings on the site. The parish family at St. Josephs provided love, care and assistance in 1982 when Mary Ellen became seriously ill. The parish and the village helped care for their young family, bought in meals and did everything needed to run their household, in addition to praying with and for the family for the years that it took for Mary Ellen to become self-sufficient again. Deacon Wayne and Mary Ellen continued to serve in a different, compassionate ministry that took into consideration Mary Ellens new limitations. When Deacon Waynes job brought him to Lombard, they first joined The Ascension of Our Lord Parish in Oakbrook Terrace. Deacon Wayne served on the Pastoral Council and developed a parish Renewal project. Mary Ellen was active in CCW, St. Vincent De Paul and Couples Rosary groups. In 1998 Father Jim asked Deacon Wayne to join Christ the King. With Bishop Imesch blessing, Deacon Wayne joined the staff at Christ the King. Sunday December 1st Noon Mass In Thanksgiving for Thirty Five Years of Faithful Service to the Church Deacon Wayne Storrs + Deacon Frank and Deacon Peter, along with Deacon Wayne Will celebrate a Re- Commitment of Service following the homily Following the Noon Mass there will be a reception in the Parish Life Center Celebrating the 35 th Anniversary of Deacon Wayne. + There will be a presentation by Fr.
